IMPROVEMENT IN TOYS.

Specification forming part of Lettirs Patent No. 140,402, dated July 1, 1873; application filed April 12, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LAURANCE BRYAN, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toys for Children, of which the following is a specification The object of this invention is to provide a toy for children which will furnish not only amusement but exercise, and it consists in what is known as the childs wheel runner 'combined with a whistle, the wheel being which the wheel is propelled.

A is the wheel, which is hung on the end of the shaft or handle B, (or upon a bracket or elbow attached to the bellows,) so as to freely revolve upon the floor or ground when it is moved forward or back. 0 is the whistle,

which operates as a bellows. D is the bottom.

E is the movable top, and F is the leather or flexible material by which the bottom and the top are connected. G is a wrist-pin on the side of the wheel. H is a rod, which connects the wheel with the top of the bellows. The wrist-pin G is so placed on the wheel that it acts as a crank as the wheel is revolved, and works the bellows so as to discharge air from the central hole I at every revolution of the wheel and give a whistling sound.

A simple tin whistle may be placed over the hole I, or any other means may be used to produce sound from the discharge of air.

I do not claim any particular form or kind of whistle. The article may be made with two or more crank-wheels and whistles, if desired.

Having thus describedmyinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent A mechanical toy whistle composed of the frame D, handle B, bellows E F, whistle 0, wheel A, wrist-pin G, and connectingrod H, as shown and described.
